Catch up

So i have ten minutes to catch up with the past couple weeks!
Things have been great but crazy busy. The mares are all doing well.
Sharon (Summers owner) was able to come down and watch Summer compete. Sharon also got to do some trail rides and Hitchcock Woods! Julia's horse Frankie was a happy companion for Sharon to take along.
Julia has out done herself with putting all of us up in her lovely cottage.
Summer continues to learn at an incredibly rapid rate. I find this intense training with her provides me with excellent insight into her individual needs.
Summer is both cocky and a bit needy. I had no idea she would be as careful as she is over the bigger fences. She will be much more at ease at Paradise this Friday in the training. She has a jump school both today and Wed.
Ava is also prepping for the Training at Paradise this Friday. Ava has been a joy as usual, all though she is a true chestnut mare. She hates to be corrected and often takes it personally. I have to stay totally calm and level when ever I'm on this little lady.
The Beast just put in a solid performance at Pine Top. I do regular check ins with my sports medicine vet, Jeff Beshear. (Best Sports Medicine vet ever).
Jeff checked her for me the day after she ran the intermediate. We can be proactive this way, and i can know that she is 110% going into the advanced at Pine Top.
Myra is still being my number one fan. She accompanies me everywhere i go.
Julia is unbelievable and I'm so so lucky to be staying with her.
Steve-o has been helping me step my game up. I'm feeling pretty on top of things right now. I'm going to try harder each day and give a little more then the day before.
I miss my little Magalicious and Dave. I can't wait to see them!
I will be looking at everyone's spring schedules and can't wait to pick up with everyone!!!!! :)
